HHHHHHEEEEEELLLLOOOOO!!!!!

Greetings one and all(probably not even one anymore):
So I came in here and dusted off all the cobwebs, fought off the Leng Spiders, performed a mental ventiloquist (probably butchered that one) act for the hound of Tindalos (Ha, Ha!!1 I'm over here) and now I'm back. I don't know how I get so wrapped up that I never have a chance to get over here but I will attemt to be more regular in the future.There's always lots to say, the problem is that I usually end up saying it on some website post where it becomes conveniently lost in the shuffle.
Anyway...I went to see "The Wolfman" the other day and I really liked it. I was wondering if I would because I'm a big fan of the original but I always go to movies with an open (and clear) mind (but not a blank slate). The feel of the movie was good and the sets I felt really reflected the time period (1891). Benicio Del Toro was very believable as Larry (Lawrence for those of you in Gila Bend) Talbot and Anthony Hopkins was a very mysterious version of Sir John. The wolfman looked great and was extremely vicious. I was actually surprised at the toned down gore appeal compared to what I thought it would be. If there was any improvement I would have made on this movie it would have been to include a little more about the gypsy camp. Maybe next time.
Overall I liked the movie and highly recommend it. I give it a hardy 4 screams on the "Creature Scale." And now...on to the lumberyard!!!
See You Real Soon and...Have a Great Day!!!
John (aka, the "Creature")
